Steel follows steel,
a click clack rhythm in
metronome vibrations lulls nervousness,
counting forgotten miles
in heartbeat pulsations
of desired destinations

Endless tracks hug
winding ways carved through nature
Windows frame new beginnings,
watching mountain peaks
pass by in snow capped splendor
as flashing red lights hold up traffic

Facing forward,
leaving behind what was,
heading north on a one way ticket
to my imagination’s quest,
chasing a dream that hopefully waits
just beyond the next crossing
